H -116 [8042]) DEPT. APPROVAL: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOnAIENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached • SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X ) Staff was recently contacted by one of the individuals on our waiting list for the rehab grant program. The request of this individual was for a ramp to be constructed on the exterior of her home for her daughter. The applicant's daughter is 10 years old, has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. Her daughter does attend public school on a daily basis and is being mainstreamed in her elementary school. The applicant has indicated that it is becoming increasingly difficult to lift her daughter in and out of the house using the steps into the house. As a result, she has requested that a ramp be constructed to assist her in moving her daughter in and out of her home. As you may be aware, Clay Larson, the City's Building Official, through the Minnesota Building Officials Association Lake Country Chapter, does construct handicap- accessible ramps for individuals at no cost. However, Mr. Larson has indicated that his organization has already constructed one ramp in Brooklyn Center this year and that presently there is no money available in their fund dedicated to this program. As a result, the City's rehabilitation grant program appeared the most expeditious way of solving the problem. Staff realizes the Council does not want to make a practice out of moving people up on the waiting list; however, this appeared to be a case where it warranted moving this particular applicant up on the list. • Included with this memorandum is a specification for constructing the ramp which we would need to do before the winter season arrives. It should be noted that because of emergency nature of this application, the income verification process has not yet been completed and we are requesting approval of the construction portion of the project contingent on the applicant meeting all the income verification requirements for the grant program. While doing the inspection for the ramp, staff also observed some other possible needs for accessibility modifications within the house, including possible modifications to the existing bathroom in the home. We would like the option of coming back to the City Council with this applicant for future accessibility modifications to the home. Presently, however, we are requesting approval for only the exterior ramp. Also included with this memorandum are the application and recommendations for work to be performed on the home. I recommend approval by the EDA. This information is private and not available to the general public. Our records indicate the applicant has not received a previous grant under the program and the value of the property being approved is $65,400. RECOMMENDATION Motion to adopt Resolution Approving One (1) Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority Grant (File No. 116 [8042]). • Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING ONE (1) BROOKLYN CENTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY GRANT (FILE NO. H -116 (80421) WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority established a Home Rehabilitation Grant Program to assist low and moderate income individuals in the maintenance and repair of their homes; and WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority has received one (1) application (File No. H -116 [8042]) from individuals to receive grant assistance; and WHEREAS, an inspection by the City of Brooklyn Center has determined that the work is necessary and appropriate under the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority Grant Program; and WHEREAS, the estimated cost of the proposed grant application is estimated at $10,000. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority that: 1. The Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority does approve the one (1) housing rehabilitation grant application (File No. H -116 [8042]) as recommended by the staff. Approval of the project is contingent on the applicant's meeting all eligibility requirements of the Home Rehabilitation Grant program, including income and asset requirements. 2. That the work be performed as recommended in the request for council consideration form dated October 25 1993, and that the applicants be directed to obtain the necessary bids for staff review and approval. 3. The project shall not exceed the grant limit of $10,000 per house.

Uniform Building Code (UBC) section 301(b)7 exempts "platforms, walks and driveways not more than 30 inches above grade" from the requirement for a building permit. However, this section makes it clear that the work must still comply with the applicable provisions of the building code as well as any other laws or ordinances of the jurisdiction. Zoning. City of Brooklyn Center regulates land use through zoning codes. There may be restrictions on distance to property lines, maximum area and height, etc. Specific requirements will vary among jurisdictions so it is necessary that the appropriate local government department will be contacted prior to beginning construction. Permits, including a site plan showing the location of the proposed ramp, may be required to verify compliance with zoning code provisions. Guardrails. UBC 1711 states in part that open and glazed sides of stairways, landings and ramps, which are more than 30 inches above grade shall be protected with a guardrail. When a guardrail is required on a ramp or landing serving a single family dwelling, the guardrail must not be less than 36 inches high with intermediates spaced such that a sphere six inches in diameter cannot pass through. The dimensions must be on the plan when this requirement is applicable. Ramps. According to UBC 3307, ramps used as exits from the building shall comply with this section. Subpart (c) states that: The slope of the ramp shall not be steeper than 1 vertical to 8 horizontal. The slope shall be identified on the plans. (Note: This vertical to horizontal slope is not recommended because it is too steep. Minimum recommended slope is 1 -12) . Subpart (e) states that when the slope of the ramp is steeper than 1 vertical to 15 horizontal, a handrail must be installed. The handrail must comply with Section 33060) and be mounted not less than 34 inches nor more than 38 inches above the ramp surface. The handrail must be dimensioned on the plan. Subpart (g) states that the surface of the ramp shall be roughened or shall be of slip - resistant materials. This should be identified on the plan. Weather Exposure: UBC 2516(c) 11 requires that the members which form the structural supports be of approved treated wood (or of natural resistance to decay). It appears that this has been clearly covered in the plans. Footings: UBC 2907(b) exception 1 permits a one -story wood building not over 400 square feet in area to be supported on a wood foundation plate when approved by the building official. In our opinion, the support of this ramp should be considered adequate provided that (1) the design engineer has accounted for anticipated frost and thaw action, (2) the ramp 1 is secured to the house landing or threshold, and (3) wood in contact with the ground is pressure treated to at least .40 lbs /cu. ft. of retention. Other. As long s these rams serve only si family occupancies, the g P Y g Y� P � Y are not required to comply with the requirements of Chapter 1340, Facilities for the Handicapped. The completed plans for the ramp should include compliance with all applicable code provisions and the detailed specifications. GENERAL STRUCTURE NOTES 1.
